They don't get much of the spotlight, but they are a big influencer behind the scenes. There have been 22 presidents total, with Earl Old Person serving as the 6th from 1969-1970. I am not sure if this group has been mentioned here before, but it is quite a rabbit hole to see who is alive and dead! 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
